K&H Pet Products Mod Thermo-Kitty Shelter

The item works ok. However, it has a strong toxic smell which renders it almost unusable. I am covering it with duct and copper tape to try and compensate. I don’t know if it will work. Also, the electric foam pad is polyurethane, which is also toxic and flammable. So won’t be using that.

I recently purchased the K&H outdoor heated house and loved it!! I believe my ferals mainly use it because it has two entrances. So, I decided to purchase 2 more - this one. Matches my home, more compact in height etc. and cheaper!! Bad mistake!!!!!! The smell is horrible! So much so that I could not keep it in my house - the kitties have gone near it but never in it, the ONE entrance/exit (I believe is a deterrent since it is dark and they might feel trapped- I have TNR'd them and, I have raccoons) But I also feel the smell is a huge deterrent as well. I will be returning and spending more money on this companies heated house that I purchased before - no smell, two openings and softer heated I recently purchased the K&H outdoor heated house and loved it!!

Be sure to air these cat shelters out for 6-months before use. They smell like chemicals and no cat will enter. Also, consider purchasing an additional heater for the structure. The heat mate included is to small to properly heat. Also, don't place outside in direct weather, use a water tight cat house, porch or covered structure.

Only problem I have is that it is for a spoiled feral cat that can come in side my house and dies. But she keeps her eye on that house. Can’t close my front door when she’s inside. She does not like the flap. She got in but getting out was a problem fir her and honestly it’s just a Velcro’s clear flap. With out it the rain can get in if a lot. So figuring out something that will do the job.

Very nice product! Live in Nebraska and my outdoor cat loves it. Except the plastic door scares her but it comes off. Nicely made just a little hard to zip up. But just take your time and it all comes together. Plus I also had a possum in it the first night. So it must be nice.

I have used K&H products for years. They are well designed, dependable and last. I have purchased every heated outdoor shelter they make, I think. This one is my least favorite. It is the smallest of the shelters, and only has one door. I am using it as an emergency shelter on a covered porch in case one of my cats gets left out by accident. For this, it is adequate, but I would choose one of the other shelters with 2 doors for heavy use.

I have a diabetic cat who can no longer live inside. He pees everywhere. Living in the Northeast requires we give special attention to his needs more than ever during the winter months. This has been perfect for our sweet baby. He found it to be a warm refuge in our garage and spends quite a bit of time in it. He gives it 4 paws up!

I can tell Sweet Pea really loves this little house. I have it on a screened in porch. I only leave it on at night time when I'm home. I don't leave it plugged in during the day because I have it plugged into an extension cord (NOT RECOMMENDED). The back half is where the heating pad is. The flap on the front comes on and off with Velcro. SP has decided to keep the flap off so he can play with it. Its sturdy enough where he can stand on top. I love that there's only one entrance as it keeps more heat in.

Adopted a stray this summer who happily lived under our Car Covered Fiero. She started coming to back door as it got cold so I bought the heated Shelter. Looks and works Great...now we have to get her inside it instead of beside it! Whatcha' gonna do?

I love this ! My 6 week old kittens climb into it to warm up when they need to. My adult Maine Coon's barely fit so I would say it is plenty roomy . I believe they gave their stamp of approval so I do also!
